chancellor angela merkel says that she is confident that they will succeed but as we report the parties are still far apart on many key issues. four weeks of negotiations have seen the chances for a so-called jamaica coalition hover at fifty fifty one thing is clear there's still no love lost between the very parties who say they want to govern under chancellor angela merkel. talk is the day when we have to put ourselves in the shoes of the other side and ask what is important to them. on balance a lot you can achieve that kind and if we do we will also achieve a positive result at the end of these negotiations and when stephen negotiators come and go those who face the microphones are still busy placing blame and stressing their own limits notably when it comes to the right of all refugees to have their families join them in germany. to say one thing is clear we will insist on the right of refugees with subsidiary protection to be reunited with their families in germany that's an issue of trust for us here. when i look up but other parties already fear a public backlash if thou

their stance on asylu m they have hardened their stance on asylum and refugees and angela merkel is basically not willing to do that. she wants to include the greens so for now, it is very early days, we have to see if it will return to the negotiating table. i won't be surprised if that somehow happens. but one option could be a minority government between angela merkel and the greens but then again, that the problem that merkel‘s bavarian allies who also wa nt merkel‘s bavarian allies who also want a more right—wing refugee policy, might not be willing to do that so there is even the possibility that we will see merkel basically leaving german politics because her person makes it impossible to include a coalition. well, mexit is not something i have heard before. talk through what that would mean for the eurozone, going forward. without the strength and leadership of angela merkel. and also, the brexit negotiations.” don't think we should dramatise it. all in all, there is a consensus. even in germany, how these negotiations need to be conducted is important. i think even
